Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup Frank’s Hot Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Wrap Components
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup blue cheese or ranch dressing
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Slice the chicken: Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into several long, thin strips to ensure they cook evenly and quickly in the skillet.
- Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Frank’s Hot Sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt to create a spicy marinade. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors, or up to 24 hours if preparing in advance.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are no longer pink inside, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Prepare the tortillas: While the chicken cooks, place the flour tortillas on a plate. Spread each tortilla with a thin layer of your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing for creaminess and cool contrast to the spicy chicken.
- Assemble the wraps: Layer chopped romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, sliced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the middle of each tortilla over the dressing layer.
- Add the chicken and wrap: Arrange several cooked chicken strips on top of the layered vegetables and cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly like a burrito to encase all the fillings securely.
- Serve: Serve the Buffalo Chicken Wraps immediately with extra hot sauce or dressing on the side if desired. Enjoy the perfect balance of spicy, creamy, and fresh flavors!
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves.
- Marinating the chicken overnight enhances the flavor but is optional.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce used to control the spice level.
- To make it lower calorie, use a light dressing and reduce cheese quantity.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
